Been a bit quiet from me this week, I'm half-dead with the flu. But here's some snippets:

A.C.Ryan claim to have reinvented the LED fan with their new Blackfire4 DualPower range. It somehow seems logical that you shouldn't have to dim the lights when you slow down the fan; switch off the fan when you switch off the lights. More info here.

AMD have thrown down the gauntlet, challenging Intel to a dual-core duel. The challenge, issued today in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, San Jose Mercury News and The San Francisco Chronicle, features the world’s first x86 dual-core server microprocessor, the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor, in a boxing ring waiting for the Intel challenger. More info here.

Intel unveiled their oddly-named platform brand for digital entertainment PC's. "Intel Viiv technology is our first platform designed from the ground up for the digital home, where consumers are passionate about the idea of accessing their content anytime, anywhere in their home on a number of devices," said Don MacDonald, vice president and general manager, Intel Digital Home Group. More info here.

Thermaltake released two watercooling products. First up is the Tide Water, a self-contained system for cooling a video card. Second is Silent Water, an all-in-one CPU watercooling kit.

Slightly offtopic:

Decker sent word of a VNV NATION tour in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. VNV NATION has emerged in the past few years to become a powerhouse performer in the electronic dance scene, and their first Australian tour - to promote their brand-new album, "Matter + Form" - will give Australian fans a taste of what Europe and America has kept secret for so long. Details here.

Gallery Serpentine sent a reminder that the Under The Blue Moon festival is on in mid September. A whole Day and Night of Gothic Entertainment. More info here.

And here's a quick timewaster: Gutterball.
